First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a drug called ACM-001.1 can help obese people keep their muscle while taking semaglutide for weight loss, and help them regain muscle after stopping semaglutide. About 120 participants will receive either ACM-001.1 or a placebo alongside semaglutide, and changes in muscle mass will be measured using DEXA scans. The goal is to find a way to lose fat without losing muscle.
